Shari’s work with a young man with autism has had a positive impact on his life
When nominating Shari, the customer’s parents said, “It is just amazing what she has achieved; when we couldn’t get him to do anything, it was firmly ‘NO’.”
The customer’s parents said, “Shari has helped him overcome his fears of leaving home and trying new things. He is so outgoing now, and Shari is the reason, they go to a cafe and try new foods, and with Shari’s encouragement, he began by walking along the river and then started going to the gym and swimming pool. Shari is amazing and deserves every award possible!”
